Pork Vendor Finds Elderly Woman Dead in His Unlocked Car
An elderly woman was found dead in the back seat of a pork vendor's unlocked sedan parked near a shrine in Samut Prakan on July 16, with no signs of injury or foul play.
On July 16, 2025, police from Samroong Tai Station responded to a report of an unconscious person inside a sedan parked in front of Pho Thap Samroong Shrine on the old tram road in Samut Prakan Province. Officers and rescue workers discovered a black sedan with license plate ending in 8469. Inside, they found an elderly woman aged 60–70 years dead in the back seat. The body showed no signs of injury or violence.
Investigators questioned Chana, 61, the car's owner and a pork vendor at Samroong Market. He explained that after closing his stall the previous afternoon, he drove back to his room and parked the car before resting. The next morning, he left his room, unlocked the car, and drove to the parking area. As he was about to walk back to his stall, something brushed against his back. When he turned around, he saw a human foot hanging over the driver's seat and realized it belonged to a dead person, prompting him to alert authorities.
Chana confirmed he had never seen or met the deceased woman before. He stated that he never locks his car because the lock mechanism is broken. He believes the woman may have entered the vehicle while it was parked at a condominium, and he was unaware of her presence until her foot touched his back at the parking area.
